New timeline on the Mario Pender injury

Updating the status of FSU's talented junior running back.

Mario Pender's rather freak lung injury caught just about everyone off guard. And on his call-in show Wednesday night, Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher once again updated what can be described as a rather fluid situation regarding the time FSU expects him to miss.

When the news first broke that Pender has suffered a collapsed lung, the expectation was that he'd be released from the hospital last week. That then became early this week. And tonight, Fisher revealed that, due to an infection, Pender had to undergo surgery.
